I can agree with the statement, at least partially, but I must say that 
in oneliners I really prefer the {} notation compared to do/end on one 
line.

Also, I found myself doing this sometimes:


def some_method
  array.map! {|i|
    call_method_one
    call_method_one
    another_method_here
    i.strip
  }
end

And so forth. I am aware that smaller methods are usually better than 
long methods, but in the case where I really have long methods, I came 
to appreciate using {} instead of do/end, because I like to see the 
closing } as finishing that statement.

Compare this to this code:

def some_method
  array.map! do |i|
    call_method_one
    call_method_one
    another_method_here
    i.strip
  end
end

I don't really like the two ends. The } makes my eyes happy, and my poor 
brain happy as well, and if Ruby doesn't mind either way then I try to 
stick to the first method.
